We didn't learn our lesson with CDs.

Nailed it.

The a la carte fantasy with ‘only what you want’ = cheap was a poorly thought out daydream by users in general. The idea that content would go a la carte and content providers wouldn’t find a way to maximize profit from it was a surprising blind spot most users and pundits succumbed to, as far as I remember.

Best I can tell, the sweet spot for the typical, I-want-everything-I-want-and-I-want-it-now user is a barebones cable + internet package paired with rotating in and out of the streaming service only as you actually need them.

You can still save money, just not at the McDonald’s Value Menu levels we all hoped for.
